I agree that a fallback to be compatible with the older dhclient would be the best option. Anyway, thank you very much for maintaining NM, i realy hope that NM 0.8.1 and Modemmanager 0.4, once they are released, will make it into Squeeze because with this combination i can finally stop using commandline tools to create a connection via DUN over Bluetooth to get internet access while underway.

Re: network-manager 0.8.1-beta2 does not work with isc dhcp-clients 3.1.3 and 4.1.1
Many thanks to Waldemar Brodkorb for the nice idea to get the used
commandline options.
The full call to dhclient looks like this on my system:
/sbin/dhclient -d -4 -sf /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-client.action
-pf /var/run/dhclient-eth0.pid
-lf /var/lib/dhcp3/dhclient-5ef60aca-3b6e-4dd1-9523-4ae039288431-eth0.lease -cf
/var/run/nm-dhclient-eth0.conf eth0
The problem is caused by the "-4" parameter of the call.
The attached patch fixes it for me, but i do not know if this might
cause side effects on systems where the -4 option of dhclient
is available.
Regards,
Thomas

network-manager 0.8.1-beta2 does not work with isc dhcp-clients 3.1.3 and 4.1.1
Hi, i am currently testing the beta2 of network-manager 0.8.1 on my Debian Testing system, which has the isc dhcp3-client 3.1.3 installed by default. The new network-manager seems to use some commandline options for calling the dhcp-client which are not available in version 3.1.3 because i can see the following in the syslog: May 30 11:03:42 s710 NetworkManager[21976]: Activation (eth0) Beginning DHCPv4 transaction (timeout in 45 seconds) May 30 11:03:42 s710 NetworkManager[21976]: dhclient started with pid 21983 May 30 11:03:42 s710 NetworkManager[21976]: Activation (eth0) Stage 3 of 5 (IP Configure Start) complete.

I already did a short look at the src/dhcp-manager directory but i could not find a part where i could print the whole commandline which is used for calling the dhcp-client.
